Innersense Color Awakening Hairbath

Editor's Take
For once, color care earns its shelf space: mild isethionates cleanse well, while Honeyquat and quinoa leave behind more than a botanical bedtime story.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 8.2 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 9.1 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 9.4 / 10
The Verdict
The sulfate-free base should remove buildup without treating dyed hair like laundry, and the conditioning ingredients help reduce the stripped feeling common to gentler shampoos. Hydrolyzed quinoa and rice protein add useful film-forming support, while Honeyquat clings better than an ordinary rinse-off humectant. The formula is highly biodegradable and silicone-free, though orange, lemon, and eucalyptus oils may bother sensitive scalps. A credible daily cleanser for color-treated hair, not merely a mild shampoo with prettier labeling.
